My personal loathing is for units with MSM. Includes old tau suits and eldar jetbikes, etc.

I would probably say Khorne Berserkers are one of my most hated units, I spent my first two years of playing 40k getting repeatedly run down by them when I played Tau.

Tau battlesuits tend to be annoying due to their ability to fly away - this is even more so in 6th Ed where they can potentially get quite a big jump. However I don't hate them - it actually makes it far more satisfying when you catch them in combat and crack them open...

Good guys go to heaven.

Bad guys send them there.

Lootas, sure they are fragile, but if the Ork player gets a first turn, the Loota squad is always destined to get a 3 on the D3 and shoot down a grav-tank or even worse, a War Walker squadron.

Assault terminators with TH/SS. This one unit completely changed the dynamics of the game. Blanket 3+ inv saves probably should never have existed in the first place and now we are stuck with them forever.

TH/SS termies. If the SS save only worked in close combat, like logic would dictate, then fine as termies still have a 5++ to fall back on. But 3++ all around is just ridiculous, especially for the point cost which is the same as a tactical termies or even a pair of lightning clawed termies who are drastically inferior against most opponents due to the new AP rules.

Death Company. WS5, 5 attacks on the charge at strength 5, for 20 points.
Oh, they're completely overwhelm by rage and bloodlost. But are they corrupted by chaos? Na not at all.

It's difficult.... I have to make a list...

- Thunderwolves cavalry: They are... just silly, when I see them I start to laugh and cry simoultaneously thinking about how much stupid they are

- Pathfinders: With their weird collage of 4th/6th ed rules today, they do not make any sense

-Manticores: IS THAT A FREAKING CLUSTER BALLISTIC MISSILE? It's supposed to be in a missile silo!!!! Man... those str 10 pizzas hurt bad

- Yarrick: Yes it's overcosted and everything but this guy KEEPS COMING BACK... he can be very annoying

- The Doom of Malan'Tai: Kill him turn 1 or you're literally .... doomed! Incredibly OP!!!

-Necron flyers (no need to explain)

But proably the most hated unit is.....
GREY HUNTERS!!!!!
They have better equip than a vanilla marine, can take better special weapons, they have extra special rules... Why in hell they cost LESS than a marine???

Doom Scythes. Nothing should bypass that many shooting rules at S10 AP1 on a platform that can put it anywhere.

Im gonna go with longfangs too. Too much shooting for way too cheap, also split fire. Ive had alot of people complain about my humble Guardsman Marbo, mostly because his bizarre rules and the fact that everytime i use him against this one BA player I wipe out an entire squad of Death Company, then when his librarian charges me he flubs his rolls and i hit and run out, then shot him to death. Definitely a gamble, but this guy REALLY hates marbo now

Everytime someone whines about Marbo, I always use the same counter.

"Dude, he's the 40k equivalent of Rambo. OF COURSE HE'S CRAZY."

And then they charge him and realize he isn't that scary after all. Or his demo charge scatters back on himself...

Only unit I hate are Rune Priests. They sniped a lot of commissars back in 5th, and pretty much everyone in my store played them. I find myself devoting tons of fire to them now, even when they're harmless, just because I hate them

Definately the Doom, closely followed by anything from C:SW. Everything in that codex is underpriced and overpowered, then you look at their fluff and can't help but hate everything about them.

Inquisitorial lesson #298: Why to Hate Choas Gods, cont'd-
With Chaos, Tzeench would probably turn your hands, feet and face into
scrotums, complete with appropriate nerve endings. Then Khorne would
force you and all your friends to fight to the death using your new
scrotal appendages. Once they get tired of that, you get tossed to
Slaanesh who <censored by order of the Inquisition>, until you finally
end up in Nurgle's clutches and he uses you as a loofah.
